Oasis, the iconic British rock band known for their hits and sibling rivalry, has confirmed they are set to make a grand return to North America in 2025. In a bold move, the band has opted to ditch the often-criticized dynamic ticket pricing for their much-anticipated concerts, a decision aimed at prioritizing fan experience over profit.
Oasis’s North American Tour Details
The North American leg of Oasis’s reunion tour will kick off on August 24, 2025, at Rogers Stadium in Toronto. The band will then make stops in major cities including:
- Chicago, Illinois
- East Rutherford, New Jersey
- Los Angeles, California
- Mexico City, Mexico
With the announcement, fans flooded social media with excitement. A post on the band’s official account read, “America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.”
Why Ditch Dynamic Pricing?
Dynamic pricing, a practice where ticket prices fluctuate based on demand, has sparked controversy. During their UK shows, some fans reported paying over £350 for tickets originally priced at £150 due to high demand. The backlash was significant, leading to an investigation by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) into Ticketmaster for potential breaches of consumer protection laws.
In response, Oasis’s management acknowledged the problems associated with this pricing model. They stated, “Dynamic pricing remains a useful tool to combat ticket touting… But when unprecedented ticket demand meets technology that can’t cope, it becomes less effective.” The band aims to “avoid a repeat of the issues” experienced by fans in the UK and Ireland during ticket sales.
Ticket Sales and Presale Registration
Fans eager to secure their tickets can register for presales on Oasis’s official website, which will be open until Tuesday at 8 a.m. ET. The general sale of tickets will begin at noon local time on Friday. This system is designed to create a smoother experience for fans, allowing them a fair chance to buy tickets without exorbitant pricing.
The Reunion After 15 Years
This tour marks a significant moment as it follows a long breakup. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, who have a history of public feuds, parted ways in 2009. The split was ignited by a confrontation during a concert in Paris, sparking over a decade of tension. The reunion is highly anticipated by long-time fans and new audiences alike.
As the band prepares for their North American tour, they also plan to expand their tour beyond Europe and North America, indicating their commitment to reaching fans worldwide.
Conclusion
Oasis has some exciting news! They are going on a reunion tour and have decided to make tickets easier to buy by getting rid of dynamic pricing. This means more fans can enjoy their show. If you love Oasis or just really like rock music, this is a chance you won’t want to miss!
